HP Laptop Internal Speaker Problem

michgoblue · 07-19-2009, 10:16 AM

My laptop speakers have all of a sudden started making this weird buzzing noise every time that they aren't muted. I can still get sound from my speakers when I play music, but the load buzzing is still there. The buzzing is still there if I put the balance of the speakers all the way to the left or the right side. The noise level of the buzzing remains constant even when I turn my volume all the way up or all the way down. Even if I am not listening to anything and the speakers are unmuted then the buzzing still occurs. I tried updating the BIOS and the drivers but none of that worked. If anyone knows what's wrong or what I can do to fix it, please help.

How about with headphones?

AFAIK most internal speakers are replaceable/removable. They are just plugged in the motherboard by use of wires and a connector. If you can open the laptop up, disconnect the speakers and use headphone just for testing. If buzzing is still present then it could be your sound controller (very unlikely). However if buzzing stops (not audible by headphones) then consider replacing your internal speakers.

Okay I have figured out that I can just disable the speakers and use external speakers through the USB port. Does anyone know if I can transfer the audio from my laptop to a TV now? The 3.5mm jacks are connected to the same driver as the speakers so if I use those then the buzzing comes back on the speakers. Is there anyway to get a new driver to recognize the 3.5mm jacks I have as different audio devices not connected to the speakers? I want to use the 3.5mm jacks to connect the audio from my laptop to an HDTV but I cannot do that now. I do not know of any other way that I can that doesn't include HDMI(which I do not have on my laptop). Any help would be appreciated.
